St Mary the Virgin

Welcome to St Mary the Virgin, Silchester

St. Mary the Virgin Church, commonly known as Silchester Church, is situated in the village of Silchester in Hampshire, United Kingdom. Silchester itself is renowned for its Roman ruins and rich archaeological heritage and the church stands as a testament to the long history of this area. 

Our church is primarily a place of worship and prayer, one which still serves as the focal point for Christian fellowship and ministry for many who live nearby. Access to Saint Mary's is usually available on most days. We are open for you, whether you wish to explore our history or seek a time of quiet contemplation.
